ugh. a theatre owes me $50. They sent it thru paypal so I'm out the goods and services fee AND paypal wants my SSN. this sucks. - Diva Sep 18, 10:29 5
- SSN seems a little much. But yeah fees too smh -- nm* - budice Sep 18, 10:37
- I have a few clients where I lose that fee, but I don't recall ever providing my SSN. -- nm - David Sep 18, 10:32 3
  - Same with regards to the SSN but I think that could be that trusted them enough to link a bank account so that's probably more than enough ID - JD Sep 18, 10:39 1
    - Yeah, I have linked a bank account, too. I wonder if that's the difference. -- nm - David Sep 18, 10:59

Rumor: Cavill has signed for 3 new Superman movies. -- nm - Remlik Sep 18, 10:19 24
- What?! The Witcher not paying the bills? -- nm - Epiphany- Picklonia Sep 18, 11:16 1
  - It's literally in the song. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 18, 11:53
- DC needs to stabilize the franchise, and this is how it starts. -- nm - Mopsy Sep 18, 10:40 17
  - With 3x the darkness? -- nm - Max Sep 18, 10:42 16
    - nah...that wasn't Cavil. He was great in Man of Steel. Give him a hopeful take on the character and he'll be fantastic. - Remlik Sep 18, 10:44 15
      - I'd gladly see another UNCLE, but he plays Superman borderline morose. I'm really more concerned about 'more DCU Supe' instead of other characters. - Max Sep 18, 11:11
      - NO ONE was terrific in Man of Steel. That movie's a disgrace. I'm with you that Man From UNCLE was great. -- nm - David Sep 18, 10:54 8
        
        2nd best Superman film made. -- nm - Remlik Sep 18, 11:52 6
        
        And Big Balloon Adventure is the best Oogieloves movie (thus far). Suck is suck. -- nm - New, Better David Sep 18, 11:53 5
        
        oh it's got issues no question. But still 2nd best SUperman film made. -- nm - Remlik Sep 18, 11:56 4
        
        "That movie's a disgrace." Nothing says superhero like slaughtering millions of people. -- nm - New, Better David Sep 18, 11:59 3
        
        which happens in the comics all the time. Plus he'd been Superman for all of 20 minutes. He literally put the suit on that day of the fight -- nm - Remlik Sep 18, 12:15 2
        
        Well, I guess that justifies...genocide? -- nm - New, Better David Sep 18, 12:43 1
        
        I guess Marvel Civil War could have been avoided if that one New Mutant had said, "Sorry, it's my first day!" -- nm - New, Better David Sep 18, 12:45
        
        First movie I really like Hammer in too. I chalked that up to Vikander being Vikander though. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 18, 11:09
      - Cavill is definitely a solid actor. He can't be blamed for Snyder's vision. -- nm - Mopsy Sep 18, 10:51 1
        
        He's not believable as a human being. - Cuzzin Todd Sep 18, 11:06
      - They have a problem with him...he doesn’t have the dorky charm Reeve did. Like, in no world is he playing a doofus reporter. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 18, 10:46 2
        
        which hasn't been that character for 40 years. He nailed the Clark from the comics. -- nm* - Remlik Sep 18, 11:52
        
        Yeah. My issue as well -- nm - Epiphany- Picklonia Sep 18, 11:16
